Hey AK, If you are talking about AVGAS low led 100 I would not recomend it. Even though it says low lead it still has about 10 times more lead in it than the highest grade car gas you could ever buy on the street. Avgas has lots of neet stuff in it to make those air cooled motors run well at alt. but you would get no advantage from running it on the ground with even 10 to 1 compression. I tried it in a hopped up 351 ford motor when I was in A&P school. All I got was fouled plugs and big fuel bills. Smells neat coming out of the exhust pipes though
